2:46, I own Seiko SPB053 with 6R15 movement. It is a slightly bigger watch than Seiko SPB143 with a narrow bezel with a unique colour that sometimes appears to be blue and sometimes green, depending on the light. It is for me one of the most beautiful divers watches ever made. It is a slightly bigger watch than Seiko SPB143. It is running exactly +4 seconds every day. I'm extremely disgusted with Seiko and even more disgusted with myself for believing in Seiko when watching this video. Where is the watch case made? Seiko, is it made in Japan or is it China? The outside is engraving Japan and the inside of the watch cover is engraved, China case and most people will never see the inner side of the watch case cover except the watchmaker. I know, it doesn't say made in Japan but why is there Japan? What else is true about Seiko products? So my watch is most likely made in China and I don't admire it anymore from this moment. How much do we have to spend to get a Japanese watch? I don't believe anymore that even Marine Master is made in Japan or even one of those limited and expensive 1965 "62 MAS" Re-Creation watches I always hoped to own one day. I don't believe that Grand Seiko watches are created and made by "artisans" in some studio looking at mountains, lakes and birch wood outside of the studio. My f. ass! All those watches are made by slave labour in some shit holes factories in China and run by commies. I will never buy Seiko again!

You know, I was unpleasantly surprised when I saw that too. I currently own SBP147, SPB213, SPB105 that all state "Japan" on the dial, "Japan" on the case back, and even on the Seiko site, and all the reviews! I'm tempted to purchase a watch case opener off Amazon and open all mine up to take a look! I wonder if it's a similar thing like SNAP-ON had throughout all last decade where they were still branding a lot of their tools "MADE IN USA", when they were really "Assembled In USA With Globally Sourced Parts". They finally got called out on it and now all their handled ratchets, and many other tools, don't say anything about USA stamped on them anymore. Because all their handles and the other parts are made in China! 😡

Last few years I tend to buy mostly Snap-on and Proto wrenches, sockets, and ratchets. When I'm willing to pay for one little wrench as much money that could get me more than the whole set of Chinese-made knockoff wrenches in my local auto store, of course, I would be pissed off if I found out they are Chinese made.

The six positions were extremely different, ranging from -15 to -54 seconds. On average, the watch was at over minus 30 seconds. I saw that the regulator pin was almost completely at the minus setting. I wonder who assembles those watches and regulates them to fully minus, resulting in an extremely bad accuracy. It took me over an hour to fix the problem, now it's on my wrist and we'll see in a few days if I have to re-adjust it again, as the six positions were between +7 and -23....

Dimitri, you probably know that I really enjoy your videos and I think this is a beautiful watch with a very good movement. But, you stumped me when you knew which direction to move the stud for correcting the beat error without first moving it to see which direction it needed to go. I don't think you're psychic so you most likely know something I don't. Since I often work on vintage watches with no adjustable stud for correcting the beat error, it would be incredibly helpful to know how you do that. It would save me a lot of time, not to mention money buying new hairsprings after destroying them adjusting the collet.

The longer the power reserve, the worse they perform. This is just 1 reason they need to be consigned to the bin and replaced with decent mecaquartz movements. If someone had told me 20 years ago that people would be paying large amounts for new and unknown Chinese brands fitted with ancient, bulky Seiko automatic movements, I never would have believed them...

@Spurdospaerde6925 ай бұрын
The lift angle is a fixed property of each calibre, it can't be adjusted. If you have e.g. a Seiko 6R34 movement, you look up what the lift angle is for this calibre, and enter it into the timegrapher. The timegrapher uses this variable to calculate the amplitude. If all you want to do is to regulate your watch, you don't even need to know nor enter the correct lift angle. Should you enter the wrong lift angle, all that happens is that the calculated amplitude will be wrong. The measured rate isn't affected.

IMHO regarding the Regulator's own watch the best method to regulate it would be wearing the watch for a week just as usual and check the accuracy once a day. After a week the watch is put on the Timegrapher and checked against it for comparison and to determine the beat error. If the "Real World" accuracy is lets say +7sec/day and the mean accuracy on Timegrapher would be +11 but after compensating for the beat error +19sec/day one wouldn't like to adjust away the whole 19 secs, but only 15 or slightly less. Of course this method is not for professional watchmakers, who wouldn't wear their arms filled of customer's watches for a week a piece... (Automatic Watch Winders are useless in this.) I'd prefer a watch running slightly fast but wouldn't touch a non-chronometer movement which runs ±5secs/day. It's perfectly fine, believe me! 😄

Hey thanks for the vid but is this a bit misleading? i just regulated one of my 7s26 seikos for the first time and it seems like if you move one lever it throws off the what the other does. If i change the beat error it drastically slows or speeds up the watch. If i get the beat error to .1 (lowest i could get) the watch would be about -80 seconds. If i speed up the watch to +/- zero it would throw the beat error up to like 4 ms. I had to just keep adjusting these levers trying to do this balancing act for like hours before i finally got -1 s/d and .3 beat error. Is this not normal or does just nobody talk about this in any tutorials for some reason?
